Ed Burelson, who was as tough as he looks here, served as head of the People’s Army for a time during the Texan Revolution, and commanded the First Volunteers at San Jacinto, following the reorganization of the Texan Army. He served in a number of posts for the Texas Republic, capping his career as Vice President under Houston, although by all accounts, the two men loathed each other personally.
